Somethings are just wholesome. Good for the heart. Easy on the ears. The Janzen Boys embody this. Made up of a Father (JJ) and 2 of his sons (Simon & Mick) this musical trio out of Winnipeg have been playing and harmonizing together most of their lives. Now they are sharing that magic with more of the world.

With the boys spending much of their childhoods in Japan there is a worldliness you can hear in their songs that is in its’ essence Canadian. Whether you are in need of soul soothing harmony or the upbeat strum energy of Americana instruments like mandolin, bass, and guitar, these boys will deliver that earnest musical intention to your heart. This world is full of musicians like never before; but their combination of honesty, & integrity in the way they shape a note within unique songwriting - will stand out among the weeds.

The Janzen Boys, a folk roots trio from Winnipeg, Canada, began their musical journey in 2012 after moving home from Japan. What started as a casual busking venture at the Forks market quickly blossomed into a family band with a unique harmony-driven sound.

In 2015, The Janzen Boys collaborated with producer JP Laurendeau to record Roads, featuring the musical prowess of Ariel Posen and Ryan Voth from The Bros. Landreth.

In January 2023, Mick took a semester off university to concentrate on content creation and music marketing. This resulted in a substantial increase in their online following. After completing production on ten songs, The Janzen Boys released their debut full album, |2|, on December 31, 2023. The album's success and demand for live performances allowed them to embark on their first-ever Canadian tour during the summer of 2024, featuring sold-out dates from the coast of BC to Ottawa, ON.

They are currently back in the studio with producers Murray Pulver (Doc Walker, Crash Test Dummies) and Trey Mills (Forrest Blakk) working on new songs that will be available soon. The first single Only If You Knew is set to be released on July 4, 2025. 

With a growing fan base of tens of thousands of listeners across social media platforms, The Janzen Boys are heading back out on the road in 2025, touring across Canada from Vancouver to Halifax, and for the first time ever, heading south of the border.
